"Rowling is 'riled' by being seen as a children's author

Absolute garbage! I have said many times that IF I REMAIN A 
CHILDREN'S AUTHOR forever (which I may well do) I will never see this 
as being a lesser, easier or less 'serious' career than writing for 
adults. Whenever I have discussed the possibility of writing adult 
fiction, it has nearly always been because an interviewer has 
asked 'might you one day write a book for adults?'"

CAPS are mine.
